I have used firework but only for very basic editing. I have been tasked with the implementation of our corporate identity and I have a plan.
I would like to create a standard signature for all of my users email and I want it to be an image, so they can't change it. The only problem is, that I like to script things, but don't know if it is possible.
I would like for Fireworks to basically read the entries from a text file or csv and insert that data into the proper place in a small image and that would be cool enough for me. I would manually save it, but if it can save it automatically, that would be preaty freakin cool too. Anyone ever seen or attempte anytihng like this before? I have experience in kixtart, java, and asp, but I am not sure if/how they mix. Thank you for any help in advance.
 
I think i found what I needed last night. The data-driven graphics wizard is an awesome tool. So my plan is to export the information i need out of my Active Directory and convert it to XML as the data source for the data command. The only problem is the nameing of the files. I was hoping you could use one of the variables to name the files, but this is awesome anyway. Does anybody see anything wrong with this plan?
